I've Made a Decision

Well folks, here's what I ahve decided to do. I am going to take the advice of my odl friend June (old as in for a long time, not that she's old. Anyway - She said I should put the house up for sale and not come down from the price I want. If it sells I go. If not I stay. So that's what I'm going to do.
I spent most of January listing all of my books on a spread sheet on my new laptop and packing the books in boxes. I am going to take them to Portland so that Joey can choose the ones she wants and then she and I will take the rest of them to Powell's book store to sell them. It was a good exercise that helped me to see if I am going to have huge emotional attachments to things and not be able to give it all up. Actually, having them stacked here in boxes has given me a great feeling of relief, not being burdened by ownership. Whether the house sells or not i am determined to get rid of a lot of stuff. Already the house feels more spacious and I feel lighter

Of course there are some things I want to keep so i will ahve to figure out the best way to store things but I want that to be minimal.

So there you have it. I will try to add some thoughts as the process goes along. Please pray for the best outcome for all concerned.

Thanks
Lyn
